The LDFLAGS_BLOB var (which used to be defined in arch Makefiles) is now unused,
as specified inside usr/initramfs_data.S. So this patch updates the docs to mark
it as unused. You may prefer to drop the entire section about it, however I
wanted to make clear that this is a change from previous doc versions.
